	Captain Planet and other 90s eco-cartoons Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

Remember ol' Captain? I don't remember the show that well, since I only saw few episodes, but I remember that it was kinda crappily animated and one othe kids had the power of the heart (huh?). Oh, and the villains polluted for the sake of pollution.

Also, there was the Bamboo Bears, though I'm not sure whether they showed it in the States. Basically, it was pretty similar to Captain Planet, except the main characters were some kind of animals (one of them was a big fat panda, and then there were two smaller animals), they travelled around with a magical dragon, and the villains were a bunch of rats. But the basic scheme was same, the villains polluted (usually to the detriment of the local animals) and the heroes thwarted their schemes. It was pretty self-repeating, but I saw all the episodes. (Hey, I was a kid - what can you do?)

Were there other junior brainwashing attempts anyone can remember in the 90s?

Oh yeah, and the theme song. Can't forget the theme song. (Literally, can't forget it - evil stick-in-your-head tune that it was)

Captain Planet, he's our hero
Gonna take pollution down to zero

Seriously, was that cartoon made in Russia? It had kids from all the continents of Earth: North America, Asia, South America, Africa and... the Soviet Union. The American kid was a ginger moron, always being outsmarted by the attractive Soviet chick, and most of the bad guys were Westerners.

And why didn't they sell the design specs for their 'geo-cruiser'? That would have solved a heck of a lot of pollution. And what sort of evil mastermind travels back in time in order to turn the Grand Canyon into a giant landfill?

Ah right. That philanthropist guy. Nice try Ted, but it was a dumb show, even for a children's cartoon with the same 'power-up' sequence every episode.

I think the Cartoon Network still shows Captain Planet episodes during the wee hours of some days of the week.

You'd be surprised at what's on the air at 4 in the morning.

I never realized how silly that cartoon was until now.

It was an unsuccessful attempt at brainwashing.

Man, Captain Planet was a loser. Throw some pollution on him and he was incapacitated? He never fought really competant villens or terrorists. Can you imagine if hewas flying around and he met up with Captain Marvel ?



'Splode Captain Planet, all over Earth. Or Marvel would've just tossed his ass into a garbage dump.

You know what I don't get? IIRC, the whole schpeel was, "earth, wind, fire, water, etc"... well... wind is just a reaction of pressure systems. It's air molecules moving. It's not like a secret power. And fire... well fire helps burn the coal and stuff. Fire is bad. But yet they use it to create captain planet. And water? Water is just H2O... wtf is so special about it? And earth... Pollution is caused from burning coal and other fossil fuels... everything CAME from the Earth, so yet its good... I just find the use of the "elements" to be very stupid.

BTW, the whole "environment" concept is rather silly. People treat it like some universal battle between good and evil. In the grand scheme of things, pollution isn't universally bad or good. It's just different chemicals making up the atmosphere. It's bad for humans and other living things, but they make pollution out to be something universally evil. It's not.... it's just bad for us.

I'm probably not making much sense... oh well.

I wonder what Captain planet would say to Bush and company... what with many of the same people who ARMED Saddam Hussein, now rallying against him. And likewise with Al Qaeda, Osama, and how the US supported them in the 80's against the Soviets.

I don't think Captain Planet would have kind words for the Bushies.

I suspect CP is surprisingly vulnerably to TOW Missiles.

I also see Azazel is using the same google search as me.
